.provxml files questions

[walshieau]

Guys,
does anyone know any information about the .provxml files that are run on Hard Resst that reside in the ROM?? ie what executes them etc...

[pof]

AFAIK they generally contain registry settings and are executed by PreAutorun.txt or PreConfig.txt (can't remember the exact name) found on \windows\ dir.... watch for the lines starting with "XML:".

So, I assume this is where data connection details and the like are loaded?

no its not... data connection details are loaded from CAB files on the ExtROM... Operators use these .provxml files onto of the base rom they receive from HTC... these files are read on a Cold Boot (Hard Reset) and their settings entered into the registry...

but they probably could be used for operator settings.... but im in the process of writing an Operator Setting application for World Wide use....

Actually in the VPA ROM I'm working on, data connections ARE stored in the provxml files.

on the cingular rom the data connection settings are set via xml and is stored in the rom, mms is set via cab, these are both NOT in the extended rom... was different than the wizard which had all the settings in the ext rom.

Connection Settings Are Stored In The XML Files On The Original Orange Rom And Are Executed By PreAutoRun.exe Reading Which Files To Execute From PreConfig.txt.

The Original Orange Rom Didn't Have An ExtRom And So Everything Had To Be Loaded From The Windows Directory.

Also Adding The Connection Settings XML To This File

"mxipcold_zzzbetaconfig_100.provxml"

And Then Cooking The File Into A Rom Will Install The XML Settings You Want At Startup And After Hard Reset.

Cheers

it all depends on how 'lazy' the operator feels hahaha... because the .provxml files are basically the same as the xml files... both used to configure your device with reg tweaks and operator settings... but.. i should have my Operator Settings app out this week finally :D:D:D
